Tattoo's? Did you know they are a sin???

I don't have one, but if I would, I couldn't care less what the bible or any other religious book had to say about it. Reason I have never taken one is because it's too permanent, even if it looks cool at first and you would never regret the tattoo you picked as you get old and wrinkly it'll look horrible. Now if you could easily remove them whenever you would please it would be another story, but that simply isn't the case.

I have always thought about getting one but never had the nerve to do it. And also in the back of my mind I have always wondered if it was a sin. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Thanks for adding the information ,I didn't know that tattoo is a sin.The good is I haven't any tattoo and I'll not have...I'm little old now for starting tattoo.Even when I was young I never didn't want have a tattoo ,I didn't and still don't like specially the huge once or anyone have many tattoos at him body. When I was young many girls they like do tattoo them boyfriends name.....the most of them they had new boyfriend the next year lol:

I'm covered in tattoos and, as an atheist, don't believe in any of the writings of the bible therefore I don't believe that I am sinning. It's my body and I'll choose to do with it whatever I please withing the boundaries of the law of course.

I sure didn't know that tatto's were a sin. I don't have any on my body but my husband had one on his arm. It is a chain link with two feathers coming down from it. I had never heard that it was a sin. I personally don't want any tattoos on my body but he wanted to get some more of them a while back and changed his mind. I am glad of that especially if it is sinning in the Bible.

I don't have any tatoo for myself. I don't think it's a sin, it's only people's interest. Everyone has rights to make a tatoo. However, I prefer not to have any tatoo. As one day when you get tired of it, it's not easy to remove it. Why not use some short-time lasting tatoo for fun? You can just have it for a few days and then it'll be gone. I think it's better.

hello I don't mean to sound harsh, but that is one of the most rediculous things I have ever heard. Who makes this stuff anyways!!!!!

I want one, but m fiance does nt want me to get one. my mother always said do not deface your bod because it is a sin. But she pierced her ears! piercing your ears is defacing your body as well!

I love my tattoo and have more planned. like a few scars I have, tattoos make your body a canvas, telling your story. I will have more.

I never heard that tatoos are sin. In rural India many women having tatoos. In most cases they have tatoos of their name. husband's name or God or Godess picture. There is no harm in getting tatooed in the body. Personally I do not like tatoos. I have seen in TV somebody getting tatooed all over the body.

Wow, that is an interesting fact. I did not know that tattoos are a sin to our body. I have always considered tattoo as an art. It is a form of expression to have tattoos on our bodies. I personally don't have one, but I would not mind having a tattoo in the future.

I am sure someone has posted this, but I don't have time to look through all the responses. If you only believe in the old testiment, a tatoo is a sin, but we are under the new covenant, which wipes out lot of those rules. Otherwise, we women couldn't wear pants:) Also, I have a tatoo, where no one can see it. I like it that way.

in my opinion,it depends.when i saw somebody around me had gotten some tattoos on his/her body,my first reaction is to think that he/she might not be a good people,maybe they are hoodlerm,and they are very ridiculous.maybe my opinion is a bit narrow.hehe but when i watch the sports news from TV,i saw some sport stars also have gotten some tattoos one their boddies.at that time ,i thought they were very cool and they have cool personalities.i don`t know why i have this bias.maybe what i said are not right,just my own opinion.

I have a tattoo in the back and I do not believe that they are a sin. Besides I do not trust to much in the bible: D

I have heard that before, that it is a sin. I even mentioned it to my ex when she got one. I myself do not think tattoos are anything that great. As for it being a sin, it's all in how you look at it. That is one thing I hate about the bible and organized religion. People can read the exact same thing and see different meanings in it, or choose to ignore it all together.

I don't have any tattoos in my body. I didn't know it is sin. Good thing you post it. Thanks! I would tell my friends about it. I guess that would made them change their minds if they are contemplating getting one lol

I don't have any tattoos, and really have no desire to get one. As for the Levitical law, the Isrealites lived under a lot of mandates and if you read it carefully, a lot of their laws were to keep them healthy. At that time, their were probably no sanitary measures to keep them from infections from tattoos, not to say it isn't a sin. I believe personally that it is wrong to mark up our bodies, but I also believe that God worries more about what's in a person's heart than what is on the ouside of their bodies. I don't think God will judge a person based on if they have a tattoo or not, but on how they stand spiritually.

Tattoo means a evil in our country,if some one have a tattoo on their body,they will be as a blackguard by people.so i don't have a tattoo on my body,and all of friends also don,t have tattoos on their body.

I have tattoo's... Started when I was sixteen. I'm agnostic, so the bible really isn't a part of my life. I was raised Christian and I have certainly heard my fair share of how my body modifications are sins, but I could care less. Don't get me wrong, I believe that the bible makes some good points, but who could actually abide by it? Seriously, some of that is just ridiculous... There's no way in today's society someone can live without commiting at least one sin that is pointed out in the bible. Once again, I am NOT christian and I don't believe in the bible. But, if I did... Which I once did... I believe the bible to be guidelines not rules. One cannot live by something that was written hundreds of years ago.

I have 3 tattoos one on my back upper Right shoulder and on my lower back. I also have one near my groin area but after 3 kids that one is so indistinguishable (I regret that one). I have to say I do not regret the other two and my husband now has 4 (he did not have any before he met me). My Brother is a tattoo artist so he designs really good ones for our family.
